Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 21:1-4

130. The widow’s offering (Mark 12:41-44; Luke 21:1-4)In one of the courts of the temple were large containers into which people dropped their gifts of money. The containers were in an open place, and onlookers could easily see how much people put in. Also, those who gave a lot could easily attract attention to themselves. Jesus noticed that some of the rich gave generously, but a poor widow gave an amount so small that it was almost of no value in the local market place (Mark 12:41-42).Jesus,... read more

And He looked up , &c. The Lord was still in the Temple, showing that this prophetic discourse is not the same as that spoken later on the Mount of Olives. They are similar to Luke 21:11 , when the Lord goes back and speaks of what shall happen "before all these things". See App-165 . looked up . Greek. anablepo. App-133 . saw . Greek. eidon.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 21:1

Except for the first four verses detailing Luke's account of the widow and her two mites, this whole chapter recounts Jesus' Mount Olivet discourse regarding the destruction of the temple, the destruction of Jerusalem, the Second Coming of Christ, and the end of the world. It is well to keep in view throughout the chapter that the prophecies involve multiple future events and that the distinction of what is meant in every instance is hard to determine.That such multiple prophecies are indeed... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 21:1

1. looked up—He had "sat down over against the treasury" ( :-), probably to rest, for He had continued long standing as he taught in the temple court ( :-), and "looking up He saw"—as in Zaccheus' case, not quite casually. the rich, c.—"the people," says Mark 12:41 "cast money into the treasury, and many rich east in much" that is, into chests deposited in one of the courts of the temple to receive the offerings of the people towards its maintenance (2 Kings 12:9; John 8:20). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 21:1-4

7. Jesus’ commendation of a widow 21:1-4 (cf. Mark 12:41-44)The connecting link in Luke’s narrative is the mention of a widow (cf. Luke 20:47). The contrast is between the false piety of the rich lawyers and the genuine piety of one poor woman. This is another lesson for Luke’s readers on how one’s faith should influence his or her attitude toward money. Jesus presented the real issue as being how much one keeps for himself or herself rather than how much one gives away."We tend to appreciate... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:1-38

The Widow’s Mite. Prophecy of the Fall of Jerusalem and the Second Advent1-4. The widow’s mite (Mark 12:41). See on Mk.5-36. Great prophecy of the Fall of Jerusalem and the Second Advent (Matthew 24:1; Mark 13:1). See on Mt. St. Luke distinguishes these two events more clearly than the other evangelists (Luke 21:24). He also describes Jerusalem as being ’surrounded by armies.’ This greater definiteness is held by some to indicate that St. Luke wrote after the fall of Jerusalem, and added... read more
